1 /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables:
3 nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN
7 Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet
8 counters per flow are added.
10 nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER (read-only)
11 Size of hash table. If not specified as parameter during module
12 loading, the default size is calculated by dividing total memory
13 by 16384 to determine the number of buckets but the hash table will
14 never have fewer than 32 and limited to 16384 buckets. For systems
15 with more than 4GB of memory it will be 65536 buckets.
17 nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
19 not 0 - enabled (default)
21 Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are
22 in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be
23 considered for connection tracking.
25 nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
26 Number of currently allocated flow entries.
28 nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
30 not 0 - enabled (default)
32 If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
33 provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
35 nf_conntrack_events_retry_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
38 This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking
39 events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is,
40 events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
42 Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is
43 active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was
44 delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically
45 re-tries to send the event to userspace.
47 This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
48 to deliver the destroy event.
50 A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
51 will take longer for a backlog to be processed.
53 nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
54 Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
55 nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
57 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
60 Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
61 nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
62 purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
63 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
65 nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
68 See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
70 nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
73 Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
75 nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
78 Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
81 nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
83 not 0 - enabled (default)
85 Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
87 nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
90 Default for ICMP timeout.
92 nf_conntrack_icmpv6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
95 Default for ICMP6 timeout.
97 nf_conntrack_log_invalid - INTEGER
102 33 - log DCCP packets
103 41 - log ICMPv6 packets
104 136 - log UDPLITE packets
105 255 - log packets of any protocol
107 Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
109 nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
110 Size of connection tracking table. Default value is
111 nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
113 nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
114 0 - disabled (default)
117 Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
118 If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID.
120 nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
122 not 0 - enabled (default)
124 If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
127 nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
130 Maximum number of packets that can be retransmitted without
131 received an (acceptable) ACK from the destination. If this number
132 is reached, a shorter timer will be started.
134 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close - INTEGER (seconds)
137 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_close_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
140 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established - INTEGER (seconds)
141 default 432000 (5 days)
143 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_fin_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
146 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_last_ack - INTEGER (seconds)
149 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_max_retrans - INTEGER (seconds)
152 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv - INTEGER (seconds)
155 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent - INTEGER (seconds)
158 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait - INTEGER (seconds)
161 nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged - INTEGER (seconds)
164 nf_conntrack_timestamp - BOOLEAN
165 0 - disabled (default)
168 Enable connection tracking flow timestamping.
170 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
173 nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream2 - INTEGER (seconds)
176 This extended timeout will be used in case there is an UDP stream
